Real Sociedad star returns to training before Rayo Vallecano

La Liga outfit Real Sociedad have late this week been afforded some timely positive news on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation of the return of a key member of the club’s backline to group training.

The player in question? Jon Aramburu.

Right-back Aramburu had for his part been forced to sit out training in the Basque Country across the week to date.

This came owing to a fitness setback suffered in the warmup for Real Sociedad’s La Liga defeat at the hands of Barcelona last weekend.

As confirmed by Mundo Deportivo, however:

‘Real Sociedad trained for the penultimate time this week at Zubieta, with Jon Mikel Aramburu joining the squad after a few days on the sidelines due to a knee strain.’

The Venezuelan, in turn, is expected to be cleared to play his part against Rayo Vallecano in La Real’s final pre-international break fixture this weekend.

Still absent from Sergio Francisco’s ranks, on the other hand, is Aritz Elustondo, who continues to struggle with a rib injury.
